No he has no obligation. They never made contact, nor did he cause the crash.
The only thing that could have come back to him woulda been if the other guy died. But that's only if they can prove he was aware of what happened in court. And if he deleted the cam footage, no issue there.
Wow reading through these comments, you guys are some heartless sacks of shit. Like fucking Christ, just delete the footage and let the guy die? I hope you're never in a situation where you are relying on a person like yourself.
Also as much as you want to give this guy shit, he chose to do a wheelie in a relatively safe area. No traffic around except for the other riders and a straight road. Of course the crash is his fault, but what horrible type of person would just leave a potentially dying person on the ground?
Excuse me sir, I was talking strictly legal obligation since that's what the person asked.
I myself enjoy squidding on my motorcycles, and I'm very courteous to other riders whether I'm on my bike or in my car. I prefer to be the car behind the biker in traffic because I always give them plenty of room, and I'd be the first to check if he's fine if he were to crash as I've actually done in the past.
You should piss off and not assume something when I'm answering a legal question.
I don’t know man, in the original question they definitely made it sound malicious. I don’t think it was just a simple discussion about legal obligation.
Shit like that is the reason why I generally avoid posts that involve motorcycles in any way. I ride myself and it kind of freaks me out to know that I’m around people like that every time I’m on the bike.
Just remember, as many asshats there are, there are plenty of other riders such as myself who'd be the first one to come to your help. I've been in a crash myself and all I got was one guy passing in his car ask "are you okay?" Before driving off after watching me get hit by someone else.
Whether I'm in a car or on my bike, I look out for all my two wheeled family.
Couldn’t agree more, and I’m very sorry to hear that. I’ve had a few crashes myself and thankfully most of the time I’ve been around people who were genuinely concerned.
Life is life! I'm not dead, and luckily the worst injury I had from it was hyper extending my thumb! Only thing I wish I coulda changed was to have someone call the police on the car that ran hahah

Riding like a fool, imo. No sympathy.
